The Working White House is now CLOSED

Today we spent the entire day taking down The Working White House.

I was sad to see it go because it has been so popular! And summer was just beginning when we opened it on June 19. Those weeks sure flew by fast!

The next Keller Gallery exhibit will be the dollhouse exhibit Life in Miniature which opens on October 16. The Keller will be part of the grand opening festivities for The Stark County Story, so it will remain closed for the month of September.

For the rest of the week I will be finishing up artifact placement in The Stark County Story.
